With Independence Day falling on a Thursday, that meant a four day holiday weekend for many people and an extra long weekend holiday in the summer means bullets are going to be exchanged between Miracle-Americans.
It speaks volumes about the quality of a city when there are so many shootings that it is difficult to get an accurate count. By any measure, it was a busy city in Chicago, aka The Woundy City, aka Chicongo.
Chicago shootings: July 4th weekend sees more than 100 people shot, 19 killed
HeyJackass has the tally at 20 dead and 88 wounded giving the city a four day weekend total of 108 shot, or 27 people shot and 5 killed per day.
2021 had a higher body count of 23 killed and 90 wounded for a total of 113 but 2024 came in at a strong second place, even ahead of the 2020 Summer of Love total of 92.
The sheer volume of shootings provided an interesting contrast between opinions on what to do about it. Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling has one idea, namely locking up criminals so they stop committing crimes. What a novel idea!
He also took a subtle swipe at some of Illinois’ progressive bail reforms that allow more suspects out of jail before their trials and said his focus is on the victims.
“We have to take them off the street, and we have to keep them off the street so they don’t destroy other families,” he said.
Snelling is a 28 year veteran of the force, a homegrown homie that grew up on the south-side of Chicago, attended DePaul University in Chitown and who worked his way up the ranks from a patrol officer to the police superintendent. It looks to me as if Snelling has spent his entire life in law enforcement in Chicago.
Meanwhile the successor to Mayor Beetlejuice, far left loon “Let’s Go” Brandon Johnson, of course blames White people for blacks shooting each other.
Johnson vowed consequences for violent criminals and placed the blame on “generations of disinvestment” and illegally purchased firearms, which he said are fueling a culture of violence in Chicago, using the example of a 16-year-old with an AK-47.
“Generations of disinvestment” is the sort of language that blames White people for not giving enough free stuff to blacks, thus forcing these otherwise peaceful and smart denizens of the Woundy City to shoot each other out of sheer desperation.
Mayor Brandon Johnson stressed that his administration has recently sought more federal funding to address root causes of violence, but still called for punishment for those who make “a choice to kill.”
“We are standing here today talking about a violent weekend because of generations of disinvestment,” Johnson said.

Yep, that is the problem. It isn’t because blacks have only one response to any issue, pulling out guns and blazing away. It is part and parcel of the infantilization of black men to blame anything and everything they do on external forces. Sure they talk about “holding people accountable” but ultimately they claim that the real problem is that not enough money has been thrown at blacks despite the trillions wasted since the Great Society and War on Poverty under LBJ.
Mayor Johnson appointed a different Scholar-American to be the “First-Ever Deputy Mayor of Community Safety”, one Garien Gatewood.
Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson announced Garien Gatewood will serve as the City of Chicago’s Deputy Mayor of Community Safety. As the first-ever Deputy Mayor of Community Safety, Gatewood will lead cross-government efforts to eradicate the root causes of crime and violence, and advance a comprehensive, healing-centered approach to public safety.

A “healing-centered approach to public safety”? So much for an “arresting violent criminals and locking them up approach to public safety”. What does this new “cross-government effort to eradicate the root causes of crime and violence” look like? If you guessed “Free shit for blacks paid for by Whites”, you got it on the first try.
“Violence is essentially the symptom of resources being snatched away from our communities,” Johnson said.
Deputy Mayor Garien Gatewood connected safety with guaranteed income.
“You look at work like Treatment not Trauma, you look at guaranteed basic income, you look at all this wraparound support that we will get to and why we have taken such a targeted approach to safety and violence in the city,” Gatewood said.
Gatewood previously served as director of the Illinois Justice Project. The group helped guide policy support of the SAFE-T Act, which Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law in 2021. The law eliminated cash bail in Illinois.

A guy who helped spear-chuck, er spear-head a new law that turns Illinois jails into a revolving door is now leading efforts at “community safety”. How is the community made safer when it becomes harder to lock up criminals? Don’t know. Apparently the solution is to give Chicagoans a check every month, as that guaranteed income will suddenly change their biological predilection to violence into a desire to be productive law-abiding citizens. Remember when we were given those stimulus checks during Covid and all of the shootings stopped?
Oh wait.
Looming on the horizon is the Democratic National Convention being held in Chicago August 19th through the 22nd. Chicago police are already overwhelmed with their local hoodlums, as far as I can tell not a single arrest had been made as of Monday morning for any of the more than 100 people shot over the four day weekend. When you add in the usual chaos accompanying a convention compounded this year by people protesting the war in Gaza (despite not being able to find Gaza on a map), and it could get extra spicy.
It wasn’t just a hot lead weekend in Chicago of course. There were shootings all over the place.
For where two or three blacks are gathered together for any reason at all, dey finna shoot each other.

According to the leftist Gun Violence Archive there were 19 mass shootings across the fruited plains from July 4th-7th. The biggest one, or should I say the niggest one, was in Motown:
2 killed, 19 wounded in shooting on Detroit’s east side
A shooting at an early Sunday party on Detroit’s east side left two people dead and 19 people wounded, according to the Michigan State Police, making it one of the city’s worst mass shootings and prompting the Detroit Police Department to say it plans to create a “comprehensive new strategy regarding block parties.”
The incident happened at about 2:30 a.m. on Rossini near Gratiot in Detroit’s Red Zone, two police sources told The Detroit News. The Red Zone neighborhood for years has been one of the city’s deadliest.
The Red Zone? That sounds like a safe neighborhood. Here is the best part of the story.
Empress Arelia of Detroit was recording the scene Sunday morning. She said she jogs often at Wish Egan Field and wasn’t expecting to see police investigating a shooting in the area.
“I come over here and utilize this park for my working out,” Arelia said. “I grew up on the east side. That’s why I don’t attend block parties.”
I used to live near Detroit and I am embarrassed to say I was unaware that Detroit had an Empress. Detroit would give Chicago a run for her money but there just aren’t that many people left in Detroit.
With the prime summer shooting season about halfway over now that Independence Day is behind us, the U.S. looks on pace to have fewer mass shootings than in recent years but still well over 500. That counts as “progress” I guess.

We can’t say we weren’t warned
Beware, Arthur, Snelling might very well be the kind of guy who wants to make Chicago safe . . . for the tribe. I don’t doubt that he would be willing to bend or outright break the law in aid of the elites of his kind, a la Sheriff Joseph Lohman (see the link).

He is a Miracle-American, badge or not, so I don’t trust him but he’s better than that faggy Brandon Johnson.
The pic is awesome Art. Pun intended.
I was very pleased with it
“July 4th weekend sees more than 100 people shot, 19 killed.”
Takeaways:
1. No arrests. Neither the cops nor the mayor appear to GAF (so why should we)?
2. Unending, SSDD Every. Gddm. Weekend.
3. Stay out of cities–especially Shytcongo.
4. When your enemy is destroying ‘hissef’ do not interfere.

Must be a laugh a minute being a cop in Detroit
“…the biggest one, or should I say the niggest one…
Ok, I laughed for real at that, well played. And the ghetto Bible verse has me busting my gut here, even if it’s too close to the truth to be truly funny. That’s the kind of thing I could’ve written – inveterate smartass that I am – and I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t think of it first.
I am embarrassed to say sometimes I bust out laughing at something I wrote or an especially good AI image
From Newsweek, this year: Journal of Urban Health Publishes Study Showing Black Men Show Have Been Exposed to Shootings Are Twice as Likely to Have Problems Dressing or Bathing Themselves
“ The disabilities associated with gun violence recorded in the survey include trouble concentrating, struggling to walk/use stairs or run errands, and issues with dressing or bathing. Men who saw or heard about shootings had a 53 percent increased rate of suffering from some form of functional disability than those who had not and were over twice as likely to report trouble concentrating, walking up or down stairs, dressing, or bathing.”
What is that pathetic bullshit? Oh right, it’s newsweek. I’d say some number of them have (had) such difficulties, irrespective of being involved in, or just merely hearing about a shooting.
I swear, these assholes can publish a study to show anything, no matter how stupid and inane it may be.
Jewsweek just ran a pic of Trump as Hitler, how original.
That is a huge issue, how many negroes are in wheelchairs and getting state assistance for disability because some other negro shot them
Maybe with guaranteed monthly checks they could get training and fix the abismal score
I maintain that teaching basic marksmanship in urban schools would eliminate a lot of problems
It’ll cause plenty more problems. They already attack Whites, they don’t need to be taught how to be competent at it. It’s a shitty take, trying to make the problem solve itself. They wouldn’t kill each other all off, there would still be some getting better and more experienced and those will be the ones you will see raiding Whites later as things get worse.
Also, training and arming groups already has been done in africa and look at how Whites are doing there.
So Chitcongo has city police departments, county sheriffs, and highway patrolmen. On a weekend like that, how much of their law enforcement manpower is wrapped up responding to shooting? How long does it take to clear a shooting cite? Can you speed with relative impunity? I take it that law enforcement doesn’t have time to deal with petty stuff like expired tags?
it will be interesting to see what happens during the Democratic convention. Especially since there seems to be a chance of some donkey on donkey infighting.
Re the picture. Can you ask it that the apes are holding 40’s of malt liquor?
There are probably a dozen or more cop cars at every shooting, and with 25 per day that is two per hour. How do they have time to do anything else? On the other hand CPD has over 11,000 sworn officers. Holy crap, their budget is over $1.7 billion.
Now we’re talking numbers! Not rookie numbers!
That was an impressive showing, Chicongo is to be congratulated. Maybe a plaque or another statue of George Floyd?
